sure, you have to coexist with people, but fuck trying to get along with them, be yourself and surround yourself with people you're comfortable with, if you can't find any, be comfortable with yourself and honest with yourself.

basically, chill out, don't intellectualize this too much and you'll find yourself out of this anxiety heavy period before you know it.

surrounding yourself with yourself is bad in chess and bad business, and it will keep you poor for life. getting along with people is an important skill-- mere diplomacy-- separate from real friendships. "good morning this is my photo portfolio, this is what i charge per session, you can find me at this number, have a nice day". you gotta fucking have that or you're crippled.
